WO centuries have not dimmed the popularity 
of this hymn, although it has caused many lib- 
erties to be taken with it. The author, Augus- 
tus Montague Toplady, was one of the most 
noted clergymen of his day in London, where 
he died in 1778, at the early age of 37, having achieved a 
high reputation as an opponent of John Wesley and as a 
champion of John Calvin. His posthumous fame rests on 
his controversial writings and his hymns, written during his 
incumbency of Broad Hembury, in Devonshire ; but during 
the three years of his London life he made the little chapel 
in Leicester Square famous by his power and strength as a 
speaker and preacher. He died of overwork.
